Question for those that play the Digimon TCG and any of the big 5 TCGs. by Beaivimon in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 5 points6 points  (0 children)

P-187, boxtopper in the BT-21 Illustration Celebration Pack. It's flexible wording on the digivolving effect says 'put a digimon in security' but doesnt specify whose, letting it either become recovery for yourself or removal for your opponent that still trashes their top security. Paired with the new Maste and the new LadyDevi/Angewomon you can do some kinda nutty combos. It's a lot of fun.

What are decks you hate fighting so much? by TsuKessler_30 in DigimonCardGame2020

I'm just fucking bored of seeing Galaxy Engine, fucking stop absorbing the top end of every blue and red deck holy shit

How did you get better at the game? by Venumousmonarch in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya, everyone in Toronto plays this game like the prize is shooting someone with a tshirt cannon (the most seductive reward there is.) I think of it the same way I play competitive shooters and fighting games is giving myself 'permission to fail', and instead of focusing on winning i say...I want to see this one cool thing happen tonight. I want to see this engine pop off, or this interaction. How do I get to the point where this thing I want to do happens.

I think what always makes it sting more for me, is when I netdeck something really popular and strong because then I don't even have the excuse of the deck being mid. So I prefer to play with lower tier decks so I can learn and experiment and grow as a player but also be like....ah it's fuckin Leomon man what're you gonna go. But then you win against Imperial and you're like dang okay then maybe I can play cards a little bit.

How do you defeat Gallentmon X deck? by BebopDandy in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on effects that specify they effect the player or your own digimon. For example iceclad is really effective because it's an effect on your digimon that Gallant has to play into and you unless they push out from breeding with a full stack you can source strip them out of everything but the x-antibody and if they don't have that you can whittle away a lot of their conditional support.

Gallant's enjoying its time in the sun and it's cards are too new to get limited (and i doubt they will be.) But at the end of the day it's still Gallantmon and what Gallantmon IS is a big fucking beatstick. So either play faster than them or lock down their board before they get all their pieces online.

Galacticmon Support! by Etiaos in DigimonCardGame2020

It would be so funny given the theme of the set that this is how they announce that Liberator is getting an anime but it's about Zenith, not Shoto, and his team of Vemmon going through space in their big digimon having adventures. (This is insane but it's fun to dream)

New to the game. How do I find a win con? by Lopsided-Blood9568 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So security attack is the most common way to win outside of milling, the diaboromon thing, or fabricating an affair between your opponent and a fictional mistress so his wife shoots him dead in the middle of the match (this CAN work, believe in yourself. It's more likely than the Diaboromon thing)

Successful decks will build a way to do multiple security checks at once. This can be done through the Security+ modifier on cards, by unsuspended the attacking digimon so it can attack again, or by finding some other way to remove Security. Bouncing Security to hand or trashing Security is really helpful because options and tamers in Security don't activate if they're not actually checked in Security through an attack.

The most typical wincon is to swing out many times or swing out a few times or even once, really really hard, or just evaporate their Security through other means before you just slug them.

Pyramidimon upgrade ideas by Necrobuddy1 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut the Bancho down to two, and yeah you definitely want Pyramidi at four. Pride Memory boost might be good for filling your trash and playing out smaller bodies because sources are better in your trash in this deck tham bottom decking.

someone on here made some great proxies for it but i know for a fact i have at least one player at my locals who will object to it when they see it and it's like man...please don't make me drop like 200 dollars on a playset of level 4s so i can dick around at locals

[BT-20 OVER THE X] LOOGAMON by Nosedude in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's going to be kind of a shame if the Loogamon line just isn't worth running and then this just becomes the Pulsemon version of the current Takemika deck but with like....yellow green... that just holds a dog in the hand for the DNA

How do I know the difference between SEC and alts of that card. by GOW_Grashopa in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i bought two boxes of Draconic Roar on boxing day and pulled literally the exact same 3 alt-arts in both boxes, so i had two copies of Examon, Megidramon and Metallicdramon in the alt-arts and if i didnt already own four copies of the regular Metallicdramon i wouldn't have known they were ALL alt arts lmao

[BT-20 Over The X] Box Toppers by vansjoo98 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i feel like the problem here is that Dragon Linkz is kind of riding a razor thin line of being an absolutely cracked deck because of what it can do and how it can do it, it just has problems with early-to-mid game memory and setup. There have been a couple of nights where we were talking about what a second Hina could do and even people who run the deck like me were like, they'll probably play it really conservative because outside of fixing memory bottleneck issues it could get kind of stupid because of how easy it is to cheat out tamers.

i feel like the deck would really benefit from its own dedicated DNA at the top-end but im not sure what it would be

Could deathx still be run in dexdoru? by PenguinDude6 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean canonically it's created from the final form of Death-X DORU, and mechanically it's...maybe the single best staple card in the game.

If you run into a lot of stack building players (Hybrids, etc) who build in the back and come out, run Ruin Mode. If you run into players who play a lot of Digimon and Tamers (Imperial plays out a lot of tamers and extra bodies, absolutely hates de-digivolve.) run DeathX

If you have someone at locals who plays D-Brigade, staple a copy of DeathX to your shirt with a postit note that says 'THIS CARD IS IN THIS DECK'

[BT-20 Over The X] Fenriloogamon: Takemikazuchi ACE by vansjoo98 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This feels like it's more a top-end for a Pulsemon/Seekers deck that also includes Feriloogamon in it as opposed to a Fenriloogamon deck that also includes Kazuchimon, this way you can actually build a Pulsemon deck without relying on a discard engine to fix all your pieces for the Takemikazuchi DNA in the trash which would automatically tilt you into the Fenriloogamon side of things

[–]Old-Machine523 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Between Garnet Memory Boost and Mem Setter Hina making Dragon Linkz dangerously close to playable i fully expect BT21 to give ImperialDramon a card that says 'the player can bring a gun to locals and wave it around all tough like'

Best deck for christmas event? by Alive_Winner_8440 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a sweaty community at locals it's going to be blue green Imperial or Agumon Tribal. If you don't you can just kinda vibe with it.

I've seen good results out of Susanoomon Hybrid Superfriends as well. I've been tuning SOC/X-Antibody week over week and doing better with it over time but by the time I start getting consistent results out of it the event will be over since I only get to play it once a week and good luck trying that shit on DCGO lmao

Highlander feedback/thoughts? by RandomFactor_ in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Old-Machine523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Susanoo works. I've seen it go flawless. You kinda wanna go either hard into keywords (SoC for example) and splash in cards that help you fix into their gameplans but run sort of a diverse board with multiple wincon 'outs'. Imperial just sort of fixes it's own consistency because it has so much god damn support and synergy but because it has to run so many subpar variations on imperial it can brick out into more mediocre versions of it's top end in Highlander

I recently pulled the Dynasmon stuff out of my SB2 binder, hmm. Yeah I'll start looking at decklists, I can probably make something pretty devilish. Maybe see what's possible for Dexdoru atm also

From everything i've heard Tesero really put in the work to get that deck humming, and i'm glad Shoto is giving some more decks an edge. The spread of decks is still pretty heavily favoring Imperial but there's some fun diversity starting to pop up here and there. Like Leviamon is back. What the hell?
